People travel from all over the world to get to Redwood City to see all of the natural beauty that we have to offer. From our parks to our streets to your own backyard, Redwood City should live up to the expectations that many people have for us.
How can we do this?
By shopping locally and perusing some of these great places that can change your backyard:
1. Wegman’s Nursery

Wegman’s Nursery has solidly built up a reputation in the Redwood area that will stand the test of time. While everyone in the area knows about their quality materials, there is something else about them that will change your backyard.
This family-owned business knows their soil and plant problems, and have been extremely beneficial at helping people solve them. From simple fixes like sprays to more intense fixes like introducing new plants to your garden over time, there are few problems that they won’t be able to solve.
One of the goals of Wegman’s Nursery is to educate customers about plant life, something that is so critical and missing from so many locations.
2. Blue Sky Outdoor
So often when we think about outdoor beauty, we think about the trees, plants, and

grasses. And while they are quite important (to us they are the most important), they aren’t really anything if you can’t actually enjoy them.
Blue Sky Outdoor sells a large selection of outdoor furniture that is sure to keep you outside for longer periods of time. Their impressive teak furniture is made of high quality materials and lasts for a long time. The umbrellas are a great way to add some shade that you can directly control.
Blue Sky also has some great sales around the end of the season, so there is no time like the present to check them out!
3. Half Moon Bay Nurseries

From seedlings to succulents, Half Moon Bay Nurseries and the nearby Bongard’s Treescape Nursery will provide you with just about greenery that you could possibly need in your back (or front) yard.
They have a reputation for having extremely high quality plants and even a lot of hard to find plants at reasonable prices. For 50 years they have been supplying the local area with plants that we have never seen before and tons of “comfort” plants that just need to be left alone.
Throughout the retail location you are bound to see some surprises, so plan to spend quite a few hours here!
4. Terra Kids

Let’s be honest, if you have children, there is nothing they dream about more than having a play area in the backyard. While some people think they are an eye sore, parents know that having even a simple swing set in the backyard can entertain children for hours and encourage them to get exercise.
Terra Kids has playground equipment for any size yard and there are TONS of choices. From trampolines to play houses, your kids will surely love just about anything that comes from here. The employees at Terra Kids know what they are talking about and will help you to find just the perfect option for your child – no matter what obstacles stand in your way.
5. Golden Nursery

Golden Nursery is an extremely well rounded group of people who know about plants, but they also know about customer service and how to sell products with a smile. This once small business and blossomed beautifully thanks to the community that they serve, and they give it back as well.
Golden Nursery is, no pun intended, and absolutely golden place to shop for your backyard.
The best thing to get at Golden Nursery are the shrubs that you will spot as soon as you walk in. Not only will you be able to buy a high quality shrub that will last you a long time, but you will also be able to get tips on things like planting, maintenance, and even which one is best for you.
While you are there, take a look at their succulent collection as well and make a terrarium.
6. Lyngso
Though they just recently moves, Lyngso is still a fantastic place to completely

revolutionize your backyard. From stonework that will make your gardens pop to soil that will make them grow, Lyngso has been an integral part in so many gardens and backyards.
The drive might take you a little longer than it used to, it is still worth the drive for their premium materials, tools, and especially those little lawn ornaments that only they can supply.
See everything on display on both their website and at their retail location – and get inspired.
